Imagine a world where you are alone. Everyone that you loved or hated are gone. First it may be lonely. Next it may be fun. You could do whatever you wanted. Eventually the loneliness will set in again. This time worse than before. Nobody to hate you. Nobody to love you.
Now imagine a new world. This time there are other people. There is just one catch. People will talk to you. They might even laugh with you. But in the end, they don't act like friends. They aren't there for you when you need them. They aren't there when you're lonely. They won't let you feel welcome. Is this better than the previous world? Is it better to I think you have friends, to just find out that you don't? Or is it better to know that there is nobody already?
Now... Imagine a world like the last. But don't judge so fast. This world is different from the rest. What you might miss makes this one the best. This is not as bad this is not nearly as sad. Now there are people that will be there for you without saying please Their friendship will be true with these With friends you won't be alone. You will not be on your own. This is the world of friends.
